Some Common Breakdowns In Home

After living some years in our house, some common breakdowns would likely to occur. These are the items or equipment that we use everyday or building parts that are constantly exposed to the elements, such as sunshine (uv light, infra-red, heat or rain).

The breakdowns are inevitable as the items are subjected to daily usage/abuse or due to exposure to the environment and also all household items or materials have a usage lifespan, just like human beings. Listed below are the common breakdowns that we will encounter after some period of time:-

1) Faulty light fittings, e.g blown light bulbs, flourescent tubes, starter, ballast, bulb holders, wiring, rusty/corroded light fittings, etc.

2) Doors sagged, hinges faulty or squeeky.

3) Door knobs faulty, lockset faulty.

4) Faulty Bathroom shower mixer, shower hose, tap, basin bottle trap, mirror, pop-up waste/stopper.

5) Faulty Bahroom flushing system e.g handle, flushing mechanism, water inlet float valve, WC seat cover holder.
